Question
What are the five major trends/periods in U.S. Natural Resource and Environmental Policy? What is the Endangered Species Act? What are 'Endangered Species'? What are "Threatened Species"? How do species become listed as 'endangered' or 'threatened' under this law? What is involved in 'delisting' a species? Name three factors that go into the creation/designation of 'critical habitat'. What is the Nuclear Weapons Complex? List three major facilities in this complex which have been closed down or are slated to be closed down. Define High Level Radioactive Waste. Define Low Level Radioactive Waste: what are the classes of LLRW and how are they defined?Explanation / Answer
2.)Endangered species act is the one that is signed in U.S. legislation of 1973 on decenber 28,it mainly provides the conservation on the required species that are Endangered(threatened) till a significant range of the given portion and the conservation of their eco system that these species are living and that are dependent on them.
Endangered species are the types of plants and animals which are going to be extinct.
Threatened species are those which are going to join the group of Endangered species.
these species are listed as endangered and threatened is depended on its status and degree of the threat it faces accordingly.
delisting of the species takes place accordingly if the population is increasing or its number is stabilising then they are removed from the federal list.
3.)1.the present or threatened destruction and modification.
2.by disease or its predation.
3.all other natural or manmade factors affecting its survival.
4.)The nuclear wepon complex is that in disarray,disrepair and perhaps disolution as the affect is in such a way that there are no chances that to be getting back to the original position as the nucler effect is very high.
5.)High level radio active waste is the waste of the high level radio active reactions in nuclear reactors.
low level radioactive waste is the one waste of contaminated radioactive material and may be radioactive because of the exposure to the neutron radiation.these are divided into three classes as A,B,C where as class A is containing radionuclides which contain shortest half life and lowest concentration.And class B,C, contains higher concentrations of radionuclides with longer half lives..
